The song will be soon in Rene's Talks, so I hope you guys don't waste all your bullets here...

Sorry, I didn't mean to spoil your thread, Eddie, but more worried about what happen to Rene's soon... Of course, the track is red hot now, so go on, ladies and gents, don't mind me....
Actually, perhaps it is good to release all the biggest judging sentiments here, so the discussion will be more cool-headed later...

May be a case can be made to defense Silver Train; Mick and keith must have thought that the song was solid enough to offer it to Johnny Winter. You don't write songs for others and give it to them if you don'y think it's a good song. And Johnny took it and covered it pretty close to the stones 's version which tells us that Johnny Winter must have thought that the song was great as it was.
Rock and roll,

You can also turn this around: they had this song already from 1969 on, and never got around releasing it as they had so much better material. Winter liked it, thought he could make it his own from a slide perspective, and Jagger/Richards didn't mind giving it to him. They did not intend to release it themselves. Then it was 1973, and GHS needed some rockers, and this was all they had on a short notice.

Ok. But if they don't care about it why to bring it up now in 2014? They have dozaines of others songs. I respect your view on that song, no hard feelings. I just like Silver Train a lot. And I do believe that the stones like it too.

I've always liked the simple open G riff the song is built around, but it's Taylor's slide that I love most about this track.Quote

Why they bring it up now? There's hardly a song left that they haven't played live by now! If they tour for another year they probably do Gomper...

Maybe that's why? Someone in the band feels the same? I don't really know.
